Friday, March 20, 2009

I know, I know: it's been forever since I posted a new shirt design. And obviously you all are just wasting away from a lack of proper Wreckwear selection. Sorry. I've been writing Cake Wrecks the book, and with a mid-April deadline it's all I can do to keep the daily posts coming some days. (Excuses, excuses...)

Well anyway, here's a quickie for ya. After the surprising popularity of the Sailor Blobs yesterday, I whipped up this little number:Which I think is pretty darn cute, if I do say so myself. It also looks great on a white t-shirt, which you can see here, or on yellow or lime*.

I posted the design here and not the shirt view because the text is hard to see clearly over on Zazzle. Check the store for other goodies, and let me know if you'd like to see something there that isn't.

And as always, if you have a Cake Wrecks shirt design you want me to feature, e-mail it to me! If I use it, I'll link to your store or site both on Zazzle and here on the blog.

Thanks, all! Wreck on!

*As with everything on Zazzle, you can change the shirt's color and style by clicking "select a different shirt style" in the upper right-hand corner of the product page.

I want a "Push Connie Push" cake, black-out bars and all! Nothing says epic cakewreck like one with a woman giving birth, and some cakes just have to be seen (via a t-shirt) to be believed!! Please, please, please!!!

I know you think these things that you call blobs popping up is odd, well not if you have a clue that they are characters from the new pixar movie coming out soon called monsters vs aliens, that fact makes these things a lot less odd and funny and now just a kids cartoon character. DO NOT Get me wrong I love the blog but really?

Ok, I have to chime in here: guys, the blobbies are NOT Bob from Monsters Vs Aliens; they are called 'frogs' and evidently are a traditional dessert in South Australia. Just wiki them for more info.

Bob is blue. Bob has one eye. Bob is in no way associated with St. Patrick's Day, which is when these things started taking over the bakery departments. The only similarity between the two is that both Bob and the frogs are, in fact, quite blobby.

So to the latest of the dozens of 'Anony's telling me I should "have a clue" - really, I do. Honest. IT'S NOT BOB.

And now that I have that off my chest, I can move on with my life. [bows & exits stage right]

*applauds Jen* Yeesh, it was annoying enough having people insist it was Bob or whatever on the original post after it was established that they're frog cakes, but to do it on the t-shirt post too? *shakes head*

*dances in her chair*When my husband first saw this, he ended up singing the Popeye song, complete with cake wrecks lyrics, all day long in his head, much to his distress. If I had this t-shirt, I definitely could get some good old wife/husband torture going! Bwahahhahah...

What's a Wreck?

What's a Wreck?

A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.

Where's the book?

We don’t have any copies of Cake Wrecks for sale here, autographed or otherwise. We decided the shipping and handling costs would be too high to make it worth your while. So instead, buy your copies locally or online and then order personalized bookplates: it’s cheaper, easier, and I think even looks a bit nicer.
